Hello All,
I am a beginner to MSP430G2553, however all I am trying to do is get the MSP430 to execute the blink code while on 1.8V power supply.
I have tried it on the launchpad board and it seems to stop working around 2.1V power supply. I then tried the barebones method by only using a bypass capacitor, pull up resistor for reset, and LED/current limiting resistor on a breadboard, but it seems that again the circuit only works down to around 2.0V. I measured the output pin while at 1.8V and it is in 10's of mV so it is not a problem of the LED getting degraded voltage levels but the fact that its barely getting any voltage.
Is there something special I need to set on the chip before using this at 1.8V?
Thank you for your time!
